YouTube Rolling Non-Skippable Ads to all Channels

If you are such that love to watch YouTube
videos, beginning from next week, you might be unable to skip ads to the video
you want to watch.

YouTube
has announced that it will start rolling out non-skippable advert options to
all channels which monetise their videos.

For
users, this means you are very likely to come across more adverts which cannot
be skipped so you can watch the content you have selected.

YouTube
first made the feature available to a select few as an experimental option.
Now, the company says it’s releasing it to everyone in the YouTube Partner
Program, so creators can get the chance to earn more money.

According
to a Google Help page, the max video length for non-skippable ads is 15 to 20
seconds.

This
is still longer than the typical 5-second “mandatory watch” period of skippable
adverts, however, which many users are accustomed to seeing.

This
feature will be auto activated for YouTube Channel created and same applies to
their previous upload.

This
means that YouTube Channel owners will make more money via this compulsory,
‘must watch’, advert from google.
